6 “Thus says Yahweh, the aKing of Israel and his bRedeemer, Yahweh of hosts:
‘I am the cfirst, and I am the last,
And there is no God dbesides Me.
7 Who is like Me? aLet him call out and declare it;
And let him tell it to Me in order,
From the time that I established the ancient people.
And let them declare to them the things that are to come
And the events that are going to take place.
8 Do not be in dread and do not be afraid;
aHave I not long since caused it to be heard to you and declared it?
And byou are My witnesses.
Is there any God cbesides Me,
Or is there any other dRock?
I know of none.’”
